would love to have the worst back to back side

One third of the league has played in a GF in the last three years. It’s been refreshing having a fresh roster each grand final day, as much as I’d love to have experienced it again.

Hope it continues.

Between 2012-2015 there were really no good teams. Geelong/Collingwood/St Kilda all dropping off.

West Coast are competing in an era with Collingwood, Richmond and Geelong (with Danger). It's not a free ride. Hawthorn basically got Grand Final opposition like Richmond did with Adelaide but 3 times in a row.

It's also arguable there have been no great teams since 2012 ongoing. The 2 3peat sides have relied more on the club they're facing on the day being terrible, rather than being best club each of those years. Brisbane got the Colliwobbles twice. Whereas Geelong and West Coast only got them once.

It's like you're living in a different universe.

I’m certain we wouldn’t, a few players out of our team have even admitted as much. On the topic, it would be awfully silly to try & write off the Eagles chances after last night. In their flag winning year last year they copped hidings from teams who didn’t even make finals ( North & Essendon ), didn’t seem to hinder them come finals though.

Yep I agree with that. I feel the same after we lost in 2012. We win in 2012 and I doubt we even go b2b.

The big loser from both the 2008 and 2012 grand finals ended up being Ross Lyon.

I think the OP was just having a melt after a bad loss. It was others that tried to trash your repeat.
Do you care? If your club wins three flags in a row, surely you can laugh in the face of trolls.

Wot crap! I wasn,t having a melt as you say. Richmond fans were telling me last year that they should be given the flag half way through. One bloke was ring people up and when they went down he got in a tiz when he was sent reminders.Having a melt. Sheesh!

The fact all you have by way of explanation is what happened last year with Tigers supporters, proves my point.

You don,t get my point. All i was saying was how hard it is to achieve. It,s unbelievable when sides win a flag , everybody yells back to back.Have you heard of Footscray?Fans talk about Richmond this year then all of a sudden , up jumps Geelong.

Yeah after reading I get I did miss your point, apologies.

I thought you were reacting emotionally to the loss. I cant know your mind though. If you tell me you weren't I accept that.

The loss had nothing to do with it.I,m not of the Chadenay set. I,ve been a football tragic before these sods claimed the Eagles.What you see is what you get.
